MySpace Founder Deletes Post Amid Backlash After Teasing Platform Return
- morellt 9mo agoNot sure if I'm missing a significant portion of the article as a non-subscriber, but there seems to be no backlash nor explanation of why he deleted it.
- thomassmith65 9mo agoFrom the article: UPDATE: Tom Anderson deleted his post and changed his Threads bio following thousands of negative comments about his work with SpaceX and Elon Musk. In addition to his existing bio section, he added: “update: no interest in politics.”
- morellt 9mo agoAh, I was expecting much more elaboration considering the title.

- hexagonsuns 9mo agoRedditors endlessly whining about a big nothing burger. What else is new?
- ecshafer 9mo agoThis article has very little context. Here is the kind of comment he was receiving: https://www.threads.com/@thehawthornelibrary/post/DUE7PWnjImU/why-are-people-supporting-tom-when-his-investment-in-space-x-is-proudly https://www.threads.com/@thehawthornelibrary/post/DUE7PWnjIm... So the "backlash" is people on threads complaining that he isn't morally pure enough because he invested in SpaceX. This is to be expected from the "everything is political" types of people that are prevalent on Threads (and BlueSky). Tom should just ignore them.
- inimino 9mo agoThe pure evil of these purity tests is fully on display and as repulsive as ever.
- wcfields 9mo agoInsane thing to write when the "purity test" is not supporting/investing in a defense contractor with a CEO who begged Epstein to go to the island.
- silisili 9mo agoThat's to be expected, since the majority of people on either of those services are those with a deep hatred of Musk. Not sure why he expected a different reaction, or why he's even slumming it on those services to begin with.
